I made four "breakaway" boxes in miniature. The boxes are only 1 inch big, and the inside is in 1:144th scale. The first one is a Fall scene; the second one is a "Backyard" one; the third is an American Diner from the 50's and the fourth is a Tuscany terrace. Enjoy! :)

When I went to Chicago, in April 2010, I took a workshop at Bishop's show by Kimberly Hammer. We had to make flowers and assemble this lovely scene "A touch of Monet". I loved it! But my scene, as it usually happens in these workshops, was not fully finished. Only the tree - which she supplied fully finished - had to be glued on. But...Well, the thing is... I actually wanted a different bridge for my scene. Even though I think the one supplied is beautiful, I also thought it was a little too small and decided to make another one, of wood. I also wanted a more 'natural looking' tree, so I purchased this kit by Marilyn Heath Lauffer (EarthScapes by Heath), and it took me all this time to finally make both the bridge and the tree (which does NOT look like Marilyn's, naturally, this was my first tree! :) ...) and finish the scene. This is how it turned out...
